MultiWii

palton

I assumed that. It would be nice with RTL for planes/flying wings as well.

palton

What is status regarding bugs atm?

Edit:

btw, DiplayPIDConfigScreen(); will never run due to ConfigMode is never set to 1. ConfigMode is commented out where stickinputs are checked.

//ConfigMode = 1;

After uncommenting ConfigMode = 1 the PID menu is possible to enable with stick input.

palton

Does RTL work for flying wing, or just for multirotor?

This would be really coool! :=)

First you reprogram your OSD to be able to be able to reprogram the MAX max 7456 circuit. Replacing the OSD fw with this special edition of code for upgrading the MAX 7456 circuit. That is what you have done, as I understand. When you connect with a terminal program the OSD is waiting for a you to s...

I like it as well, I would like to see this kind of extended aux features incorperated into official main code train. It sux to be be forced to patch or running a branch.

It makes sense as the options and combinations are growing all the time, as times goes.

palton

Are you using a separate headholding gyro for tail, and IMU for other axis, or IMU for all axis?

Video bitte. It would be nice to see how it works :=)

palton

Any settings in MW, like enabling LCD telemetry or any specific LCD config that is required in MW?

palton

Those settings didn't change anything for me, still no config menu.

palton

What is the required settings (config.h) to get LCD style PID config working? , I upgraded my board to latest code, to give it a shot again with the new code. Serial data is flowing and updating OSD (tx and rx correct between MWC (MW 2,1) and OSD board), but I don't get PID config menu via OSD worki...

Why isn't OO style good Alex? just curious. 20 years ago when I went to the university, OO programming (c++) was mandatory in the education. The lecturer was banging it into our heads. The main reason then was to be able to encapsulate code in classes, were different programers can program and manag...

Here is a list how to accomplish 6 modes for different tx (mixing setups). It's doable for many TX. It's from Ardupilots manual. It's write ups from people who have contributed. http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Sixmodes If one channel would use multiple threasholds for selection of fligh...

palton

I use 6 pos switch, when flying my AC2. AC2 People either go with a 3 mode switch, when they have limited TX, otherwise they combine two switches and mix those for 6 pos (can be done by T9X with er9x sw which is kind of common radio nowdays, it can aslo be done on Futaba radios (not only high end). ...

palton

I would like: - flow + sonar sensors integrated and fully working. - Tommie AUX stuff, with multiple (many, like a 6 pos switch) threasholds per channel but also more possible channels. - Geofence, looks pretty nice as well. http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/geo-fencing-for-arducopter-keep-your-co...

Thx, I read his comments according to the link.

Copy Hamburger, Anything more since you wrote that hamburger. More experiences or is the heli put away now Hamburger?

palton

How well does the MW heli implementation work? I havent really seen anything on forums or youtube regarding it. Mostly looks some expermenting. I guess it works, but how well? Just curious, as I'm putting a HK450 togehter atm. Is it worth putting a MW on as a heli controller, or better go for someth...

palton

btw, just saw there is a 6 pos switch announced at Diydrones atm (for sale at ebay), if somebody else is interested in reading about how to mod tx or buying one as DIY kit. Might be interesting for someone so I thought I put the link here as well. http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/universal-6-posi...

palton

THX Tommie. Yes I'm interessted in that fix. Would be nice to be able to use the 6 pos switch i got installed. I will get free aux channels then for flightmode independent options :=) When switching between MW and AC2 plattform I got the AC2 flightmodes at the 6 position switch and MW all over the p...

palton

I use a 6 pos switch (one potentiometer replaced with 6 pos switch) on my transmitter for AC2 flightmodes. That works good, at least 6 of 10 possible flight modes in AC2 can be configured from one single knob. I think the same type of setups would be pretty nice for MW as well, as MW also starts to ...

As I have understood that EXT_MOTOR_RANGE extends the pwm range to increase from 125 steps resolution to 250 steps resolution, for higher resolution with ESC flashed with wii-esc software with 250 steps resolution.

palton

I got your point now, didn't get what you meant from the beginning as I was saying. I agree with you, considering the hw/sw have been around for a while now. I bought my hardware about when ver 8 sw was available. From that perspective it doesn't seam unreasonable, but looking at time frame back, yo...

palton

Hmm, what did you mean with that? not sure I got it right. But I cant see anyone saying it works great in this thread, just what different people (like me or skytor) got working and not working, and what matters for each individual, how important it is to get working or not. I'm interested of knowin...

palton

Does your arrow point home correct skytor? Curious if my setup got probs, or the OSD isn't working as it should. My arrow isn't reliable when flying. Doesn't point to home, although home is set when gps finds its satellites, alt and distance from home set is working, locking at 7-11 sat (mostly 9-10...

palton

As no one is answering and I now have found out anyway, I answer myself if somebody else wonder the same thing. This is an option in the current development release.

palton

Is wider pwm range output supported in current dev release or is it planned for? corresponding to 250 steps resolution possible in wii-esc code. Is it possible to get that 250 steps resolution today with dev code?

palton

Hehe, My best friends dad is a high ranked police officer and he have learnt me one thing since i was a kid. Never admit anything when you get caught by the police, hehe. Open source is supposed to work that way as you say EOSbandi, nothing wrong looking what others have done. Maybe you can do it ev...

Copterrichie, IBM mainframes still exists, hehe. You get em with 10Gbit/s interfaces today, they run IPsec, ipv6, OSPF routing protocols etc and yes they still cost a fortune. We (I'm working for IBM) sold one this year here in Sweden. They aren't dead yet, even though they are kind of dying a slow ...

palton

Indeed it would. But I liked what I saw :=)

palton

Sorry being a spoiler, I just couldn't resist starting my APM flight planner and compare, hehe. I got curious and couldn't resist to ask..

I think it looks promising :=) I just downloaded and walked trough GUI.

Any particular reason there isn't a maximize window option?

palton

How about presenting sensor data like an OSD does (like an overlay to video), within the video window. Something already planned for?

palton

My problem I was writing about earlier,it's not related to the OSD. I think the OSD works just fine with v8. It presents everything fine on screen. It sure looks real nice. I have to say that. It's my magnetometer that's not working in my case. I haven't really used it before and tested it. It is ca...

palton

I would like to see APM 2.0 support for multwii. Would be nice..

DId another test now, using my car. Multirotor on top of the car. Satelites fixed are between 7-9.I get speed working when driving with my car, distance is also working as it should. Compass doesn't match the direction I'm driving (updates randomly, sometimes hangs for a while), and neither the arro...

palton

I also get pretty annoyed of the PID adjustment screen at the startup.I sure want it, but not every time i power on.. I did some initial ground testing with my v8 today. Calibration of voltage went fine, pretty near real voltage. I also hooked up an HK OSD gps (at 38400 baud), to the flyduino board ...

palton

Any thoughts about writing a "geofence" feature like the ardupilot one? Creating a "virtual box" made of gps cordinates where you fly by wire within the "box". As soon as hitting the geofence, controller fly back to the starting coordinate by it self full autonomously. ...

palton

Which bloggie model do you have?

palton

How about live feed from the Sony Bloggie cam? tried to google some, looks like there is a lot of different models and some with hdmi and some with composite out connectors.

Got a good recipe (i guess some models works, others don't) on Sony Bloggie for live feed to the ground?

palton

Thanks for sharing copterrichie, I need a repairkit for my KDA 20-22L motor now, so I can test mine..

palton

I destroyed threads on one shaft for the propeller mount, motor destroyed. I was swaping rotation on front motors. Need to get a new KDA20-22L motor (or repair kit at HK) before getting further, only repairkits available in stock at HK atm. I did a bad drawing but as a reference I put it in here, ea...

palton

Thanks, then I know I got it right then. This make me a bit more confident and I will start playing with it now then. I will test with the mixing I copied in, with only roll on front motors, and letting the tail handle pitch and yaw.

palton

It's time for me to start uploading code on my controller and start testing, as I understand the difference from Y4 is that you remove Yaw and Pitch from front motors and let the rear motors handle this. Looks like 1.8 code is changed compared to the 1.7 code. I would like to use 1.8 code. Not sure ...

palton

I haven't used Open LRS for long range purposes, so I haven't done any range tests. I use it for other reasons than range (Open LRS main purpose isn't range, it's about functionality). I want the frequency, freeing up other freq and I'm playing with it as it's open Source. If you're after range (esp...

I got a couple of other mods (first one related to you're question and the second a bit of topic, but i Included it anyway) I did to my T9x and not covered by Undcons nice explanation of mods. Very nice summary of mods.. I reused the original T9x Module in the back, i replaced the radio inside (stil...

APC 220 is really easy to setup compared to Xbee, I got them both and Xbee was a struggle before I got it working. APC 220 took just a few minutes and they where running. And they are affordable as well :=)

palton

I have started building mine now, I inverted the tail compared to you're picture. My tail looks like a V, standing up (you have an upside down one). As I see this it must mean that my left rear motor does the same as work as you're right rear motor. Then I got a question, should I treat them so and ...

palton

All motors are of the same type KDA 20-22L and 10 x 4.5 props with Turnigy plush 18A ESC. Spare from a crashed quad, that are laying around. Time to do something fun of it again. I'm planning on having a movable battery tray on the tailboom for adjusting cg, should work I think. And then using a fix...

palton

Hi, thanks for posting you're work. I have been "chasing/tracking" you from rcgroup and finally found you and got you posting you're work here :=) I would like to try v-tail quad but thinking of a T-frame setup. I'm thinking of how long the tail boom would be and also cg for a T setup. Usi...
